Based in the middle of Gloucester road, it has a fair bit of competition. In fact, over the last few years there have been quite a few burgers restaurants open in Bristol, but Atomic Burger offer a really different, fun experience. First things first; the restaurant is comic book themed. Everything from the walls, floor, menu and windows is covered in marvel-style comic book pictures. That obviously makes it a great place to take kids, but you'll also find lots of couples, groups and students. It's probably not the best place for a business lunch. Me and my girlfriend went for the first time yesterday and it was great to sit outside and make the most of the sun. We sat on the same table as another couple and got chatting to them. They had been to Atomic Burger MANY times and were on a quest to try every burger on the menu. If you do then you get 20% off for 12 months. Just ask for a sticker after your meal and if you collect them all you get the life discount. The couple both had cocktails that had a bottle of Sol larger upside down in the glass - I didn't care what it was, I wanted one! After ordering "whatever they've got" it turned out to be a 'largerita' which was SO good! The Sol slowly tops up your margarita as you drink - genius! I'm a sucker for a gimmick! The menu is big and actually a little bit confusing. I went with the LLAP: beef burger, pulled chicken, blue cheese sauce, Louisiana hot sauce and spring onion. It was amazing! I had the garlic and chilli fries which were also really good. The best thing for me though, was the beavers jalapeño mustard. Mmmm, beavers jalapeño muuuustard!! A must try if you like spicy food. We left, met some friends at another bar, and then went back to Atomic Burger to show them the largeritas. I'm not sure if I'll eat there enough times to get the 20% life discount, but I'll definitely be back!

The food isn't exactly diet friendly, but who goes to a burger joint for salad? There's absolutely loads of choice so you can pretty much have anything you want on top of your burger, and you have the choice of chicken, beef or veggie. All the burgers are named after famous characters and the menu looks great. There's some crazy drinks on there too - from bacon milkshakes to lageritas (a personal fave!) My boyfriend ordered the hot chicken wings recently. He was warned they were extremely hot but he can handle spice so he went for it anyway! What followed was hilarious! One bite and he was sweating, dizzy, couldn't feel his lips and not feeling so clever anymore. We since found out they are made with three of the hottest chillies on earth! They had over a million Scoville units! They do takeaway if you don't want to sit in (or you've got someone you can send to pick it up and bring it to you in bed with a hangover!) They also do a mean hotdog! I had a hotdog with red onions, American cheese sauce and pulled pork the other day and it was yummy! It's quite a lot of money for what it is (£10ish a burger) but you get a naughty, messy meal that's delicious! I took my 12 year old nephew and he loved it because it's something a bit different! My 30 yr old mates also love it for the same reason.

The only issue here was the fact that it's full of uni kids filling the room with either sounds of gender fluid dolphins or how drunk they were last night... I get it though, in a uni city like Bristol you absolutely want to attract that clientele as it's a strong market demographic. Staff were fab, food was great, prices are decent. Can't fault the place really!

The Burger Joint is amazing. You get to choose exactly what kind of burger you want with tick box sheets and pencils given to you as you sit down (think ordering breakfast to the room in a hotel and you get the idea) and it means there are literally thousands of different meal options available, something for everyone! The quality of the ingredients is superb and full of flavour and texture, I can honestly say it was one of the best burgers I've ever eaten and the sweet potato fries are to die for. The ambience is warm and the dimmed lighting makes it feel intimate and a great place for couples or groups of friends to relax and enjoy a good meal together. The service is attentive and relaxed, adding to the overall excellent experience.

Tucked away almost out of site on Silver Street and pretty much inside the Old Fire Station is, The Kitchen. A social enterprise and seriously cool little cafe/restaurant run by the YMCA Bristol. I walked passed it earlier and with their big red doors open and most of the tables inside filled, it looked too curious not to give it a shot. And boy I'm glad I did! The staff were so lovely and I instantly found myself having a conversation and banter with them while ordering my food. I asked for their food recommendation and they said the Kitchen Burger. Oh, go on then! I added chorizo and cheese to see what all the fuss was about. Seriously this is one of the best burgers I've ever had. Really juicy and slightly pink, but not too pink in the middle. The chorizo was thick enough to be really tasty and not so cooked that it was chewy. The sesame bun was also perfect for me. I'm not a huge fan of a sweet bun and this was quite dense and felt like a manly burger! The chips were amazing! Some really crunchy and some were nice and soft. I asked for tobasco and they brought me some home made chilli sauce. It had a slight indian style taste to it but it was delicious. A touch spicier and it would of been an absolute triumph in chili engineering! I love the fact that this place is run by a charity and the fact that the food was so good. I can't vouch for anything apart from the burger, but that's all you need to know about!

Whoever invented these knew the perfect combination of flavors though, they were fantastic!! I also ordered the Rodeo burger (before I knew how big the fries were) and that was the best burger I've ever had, just amazing. We sat outside on a long picnic table because all the tables were full inside. There were already people sitting there and it was so nice to speak to people in the community and get to know them. We made sure to stop back by the Hobgoblin on our way out of town and plan to go next time we visit!

And it's back with BIG food. Although pulled pork is 'in' at the moment, the Hobgoblin do it very well. Huge rolls filled with Mexican marinated pork with slaw and pickles on the side. As well as the big pulled pork rolls they do mountain sized burgers that look deliciously threatening; cheese rolling down the sides and buns shining from the grease. But the best thing on the menu is the 'Dirty, dirty fries' which were 'born out of a hangover'. The Dirty, dirty fries are a huge mix of fries, pulled pork, melted cheese and spicy sauces. They really are amazing! The Hobgoblin has a food challenge called 'The Kraken'. I can't remember everything that's on it but it involves lots of meat, dirty fries and chicken wings. I don't think anyone has completed it within the hour yet. Their pulled pork is smoked on site, burgers homemade and meat locally sourced from a Gloucester Road butcher. Probably bought with Bristol pounds and wrapped in an evening post, too! The decor is casual and the bar serves your normal lagers, beers, ciders, cocktails and shots. While the emphasis is on the food at the Hobgoblin, you'll still find a few groups just there for drinks. This isn't a first date place but it is a great place to meet mates and tuck into great, dirty food.

Ciao Burger doesn't really offer much more than any of the others nearby. Their burgers and chips are straight down the middle when it comes to taste and price.

Slix - even the name sounds greasy and grimy!…read more I am not a fan of the seemingly hundreds of fast food kebabies on this stretch of road so I am a hard one to please if you are trying to make me rate highly. I reckon this one is one of the worst in Stocks Croft. The staff seem lazy and lack any sort of customer service skills. The food literally drips grease out of it and it doesn't even taste that great. And worst yet, prices here aren't that competitive. Definitely press onwards to a pizza place in my opinion and give Slix a wide birth.

I remember going to an exhibition of Bristol photography and seeing a black and white image of Slix and its neighbouring wall on which a graffitied 'oi, where's my chips?' was inscribed. That just about sums up the kind of place this is. Greasy, dingy, a little bit repulsive (almost certainly violating every health and safety code in the book), Slix is peopled by some of this unusual area's most unusual characters. It has no pretensions to be anything other than extremely cheap, greasy, filling food at all hours of the day or night. And for that, well it serves its purpose. Just don't come here with any expectations whatsoever (or regard for your health and personal safety) and you'll be find.

So when my Mother in Law ordered my hamburger, she requested that there be no tomatoes and no burger sauce. When the food arrived, the burger had nice thick slices of tomatoes on it (they looked really great! But I can't have them!) and I said that I can't eat it, it has tomatoes and I'm allergic. The server then said, "We weren't told it was an allergy." WHY do I need to disclose my medical information every time I dine just to NOT get tomatoes on something? I usually do tell people it's an allergy, but, honestly, I shouldn't have to. Then she asks, "Well, can't we just take them off? Are you that sensitive?" No, we can't, because I am that sensitive. She tells me it'll be a while. I tell her no problem, I'm used to it, but would she please bring out some chips for me to eat while I wait and I thank her for taking it back and getting me a new one. I have no problem waiting, this happens frequently and I am fully prepared to have to have my meal 'to go'. A few minutes go by (my Mother in Law isn't even remotely done with her food and I've not even eaten half the bowl of chips) and she's back with my food. I comment, happily, that "That was fast!" and am pleasantly surprised that they brought me more chips with the burger! Great! I thank her again for bringing me out a new burger, how much I appreciate it, and just in general, "I -know-it's-a-pain-thank-you-for-being-kind" sort of things. I even thought about finding the manager to let him know how much I appreciated his staff taking care of me. Now I'm glad I didn't as I am at home with horrible stomach pains and feeling awful. We've decided to never go there again because we can't trust them to not poison me OR to be honest and correct their mistake! In the interest of fairness, I've eaten there plenty of times before and enjoyed it thoroughly, the food has always been delicious. I'm going to miss going there, but it just isn't worth it.

I know people who like it as a local boozer, and I guess for that reason it serves a purpose. But I would say it speaks more about the lack of places to go in Bradley Stoke then it does about the quality of the three brooks. I feel like it's a dime-a-dozen brewery run pub chain that's completely devoid of any sense of individuality. The several times I've eaten here have all been pretty poor. Either with my work colleague or my girlfriend who has a more rigid time scale for her 1 hour lunch break. I've struggled to get served to order food at a barely empty bar and when the food does (eventually) come out, it's often almost too late to have time to eat it and quite frankly it's never been particularly worth eating.
